And it's this little girl that is screaming for love; screaming for a hug from her dad and wanting to be told that everything will be okay. &nbsp;At times it is frustrating because I know I am an adult but this child comes out almost every day.</P> <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;It's embarrassing to put this in writing here but I am wanting some advice from others.</P> <P>Has anyone had any inner child therapy with a counsellor/pyschologist/pyschiatrist? &nbsp;Has anyone had therapy with sand play or art therapy?</P> <P>I've heard that sand play is quite effective for inner child therapy. &nbsp;If anyone has had this type of therapy before I would be interested to hear from them.</P> <P>Thanks</P> <P>Jo</P> Thu, 11 Sep 2014 05:38:50 GMT Jo3 2014-09-11T05:38:50Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/inner-child-therapy-sand-play/m-p/45284#M1294 <P>Hi everyone</P> <P>Some of you already know that I had memories 4 yrs ago of being sexually abused as a child between the ages of 9-12 by three different guys. &nbsp;I have been noticing lately that I am behaving, at times when in therapy, as a child. &nbsp;Tantrums, speaking and acting like a little girl.
